“PARIBARTAN-Khulna” Evolved Through Three Distinct Phases Of Development Process:

1st Phase: Learning And Experience From Commercial Shrimp Farming. The Learning’s Were

Impact Of Shrimp Farming On Environment And Coastal Livelihood Options Of The Resource Poor Coastal Community.

Unplanned Shrimp Farming Led To Gross Violation Of Human Rights.

Erosion Of Livelihood Options Caused Massive Depletion Of Sundarban Bio-Diversity.

2nd Phase: Formation Of A Development Organization. All These Learning And Experiences Led To Conceptual Transformation On The Part Of The Organizers And Formation Of A Development Organization. The Organization Has Been Step By Step Attaining Affluence But Clear Shifting Of Commitment Towards The Neglected Section That Bewildered The Committed Section. Soon They Realized That All The Efforts Will Be Futile If Not Ideological Attainment And Community Interests Are Addressed.

3rd Phase: Emergence Of “PARIBARTAN-Khulna” Ultimately The Committed Section Decided To Come Out And Form A New Value-Based Development Organization To Defend Basic Rights And Livelihood Security Of The SRF Dependent Resource-Poor Coastal Community. And Thus “Paribartan” Which Means Change Or Transformation Came Into Being. “PARIBARTAN-Khulna” As A Development Organization Of The 21st Century Marks Of A Clear Shift From A Narrow Self Approach To A Value Based Development Approach.

PARIBARTAN-KHULNA Proclaims A Clear Mandate For ‘Change’:

Change In Values And Organizational Philosophy.

Change In Resource Management System

Change In Existing Service-Delivery System

Change In Commercial Ventures And Market Linkage.
